She is a huge supporter of The Trevor Project, which focuses on suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ+ youth.

That same year, the Academy Award-winning actress married her True Blood costar, Stephen Moyer. Together, the actors have fraternal twins and two children from Moyer’s previous relationship.
Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore has been in the spotlight ever since she was a child, starring in the classic film E.T. Coming out as bisexual in 2003, Barrymore said, “I think a woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful.”

She has been in a relationship with writer and director Jeff Baena since 2011.
Jim Parsons
Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons wed his husband, art director Todd Spiewak, in 2017, after being together for about 15 years.
In an interview, Parsons said their relationship was “an act of love, coffee in the morning, going to work, washing the clothes, taking the dogs out—a regular life, boring love.”
Neil Patrick Harris
Neil Patrick Harris, best known for his role as Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother, openly came out to the public in 2006, a year before he became engaged to his partner, actor David Burtka.
They didn’t become engaged until 2011; with Patrick Harris Tweeting, they wanted to wait until same-sex marriage was legalized. The couple wed in 2014 and have two children together.
